Actress Margaret Qualley has made rare public comments about her marriage to music producer Jack Antonoff in a revealing Vanity Fair cover story published this week. In the interview, Qualley, known for her role in ‘The Substance,’ poses draped only in a towel and opens up about her personal life, offering insights into her relationship and future plans.
Qualley expressed her inherently love-oriented nature, stating, ‘I’ve always been looking for my person, and I met Jack.’ This candid admission marks a departure from her typically private demeanor, as she has seldom discussed her marriage publicly since wedding Antonoff in 2023. The actress credited her husband with bolstering her confidence, explaining that he has helped her feel more secure in exploring all aspects of herself, both personally and professionally.
When questioned about starting a family, Qualley affirmed, ‘Yeah, for sure,’ indicating her and Antonoff’s intentions to have children. She elaborated on her appreciation for Antonoff’s work, noting that she loves ‘anything Jack writes,’ and shared a list of personal joys, from dancing and horses to listening to spiritual teacher Tara Brach and audiobooks.
The couple’s romance began in August 2021 when they were photographed kissing in Brooklyn, and they made their relationship official in March 2022. They got engaged in May 2022, with Qualley showcasing a diamond ring at the Cannes Film Festival, and tied the knot on August 19, 2023, in a ceremony attended by celebrities like Taylor Swift, Channing Tatum, and Zoë Kravitz.
Qualley also highlighted the importance of female friendships, shouting out actress Talia Ryder and calling her sister her ‘first soulmate.’ She addressed her preference for privacy, saying she would ‘rather say nothing at all’ to avoid being misunderstood publicly, a stance that has kept much of her personal life out of the spotlight until now.
Reflecting on her career, Qualley admitted to initial struggles with acting, feeling overwhelmed and fearful of being fully herself. However, she has since embraced roles that challenge her, including her recent work in ‘The Substance,’ a horror film exploring themes of beauty and identity.
The Vanity Fair feature, shot by photographer Dan Jackson, includes additional images of Qualley in a sequin mini dress and a black lace set, complementing the intimate interview. This coverage comes as Qualley continues to gain acclaim for her performances, positioning her as a rising star in Hollywood.
With this rare glimpse into her life, Qualley’s openness may signal a new phase in her public persona, balancing personal revelations with her artistic endeavors. Fans and media alike will be watching to see how this transparency influences her future projects and public interactions.
